realistic dream

#

i just remember seeing some kind of purple landmass, like a big purely purple hill in the middle of the ocean

#

and the UI was kinda similar to an old gif joar posted, but a bit different

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 2:36 PM

#

that sounds like signal alright

#

the UI looked similar to the UI here

#

(i still genuinely believe this to be an early prototype of signal game)

#

minimalist videocult game UI my beloved

#

What if signal is a game about analysing alien signals

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 2:38 PM

#

my main theory for the signal game is that

#

the player character is something close to the "bird" video joar posted, as an evolution of the animalmyn characters

#

procedurally animated 3D movement, except mostly aerial now, which in turn makes more sense out of the clumsiness when crawling around on land

#

it feels only natural, since joar seemingly wanted to make a "flying creature" game for a while now, even RW presumably almost went down that path

#

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/441038847367708674/958772678553133096/IMG_5489.gif

#

#

like honestly i could easily see this creature moving around on land in a similar way to the animalmyn creatures

#

i imagine the movement while gliding would have been easier to work with in comparison to making full 3D humanoid movement on land, since they don't need as many surfaces to connect to

#

but the question remains - what are they doing here? what is their purpose?

#

what if the mercury symbol also leans on the hermes interpretation of mercury and we're acting like a messenger of the "gods"

#

and the wings on our arms are akin to hermes's wings

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 2:45 PM

#

It's kinda hard to tell that is the purpose or the bird something interesting we can see in the bird video is that the world seems very different from the one we see in the original signal teasers like they take place in a virtual world and the bird takes place in the real one which might relate to animalmyn

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 2:46 PM

#

i like the theory djorf (RIP) presented recently that the symbol showing up could represent the transition between the two worlds

#

since mercury in alchemy was symbolic of a shifting between two states, as it shifted between solid and liquid

#

and in some cases, was symbolic for a shift between life and death

#

this could be the new "rain mechanic"

#

that after a certain time, you're transported to one of the two worlds

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

I don't see much of a shift between the signal's world and the bird's world, it seems to me like they are two distinct worlds

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

what if, perhaps...

#

the purple fluid world is a simulated reality broadcasted into the minds of others, and the city world is the "true" world?

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 2:49 PM

#

That's what I was trying to say

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 2:49 PM

#

that would be a very interesting and unique twist on the "simulated reality" concept

#

you aren't in the simulation, the simulation is brought to you

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 2:50 PM

#

It also makes sense as the term "signal" in teasers only refers to the signal world and not the bird's world

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 2:50 PM

#

also, on another note

surely if james has a signal image in his background, the description may be related too?

#

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 2:52 PM

#

For how long did he have this background?

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 2:52 PM

#

at least a year or two since before the first signal teaser

#

if that one gif is indeed a prototype of the signal game

#

then it's safe to say this game has been in development at least since early 2018

#

after joar stopped posting animalmyn gifs (the last of which being in late 2017)

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 2:54 PM

#

hmmm...
what about the moon related description?

#

I'm not sure about the moon being related to signal it is certainly possible but it could also just be something james put in his description without any relation to signal

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 2:57 PM

#

i don't think it's a stretch at all because, like

#

his background and description match up very closely to signal 004

same hand models, and the moon is present

#

if not the moon being quite a center focus outright aside from the hands

#

the camera is positioned towards the sky of course, so clearly it's something of note

#

also fun fact: there's a tree in front of this human body statue :)

#

i like that tree

#

it is hard to tell immediately what's so special about the moon here, apart from being absurdly bright

#

although

#

i did notice something, on closer inspection

#

it's not perfectly round

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 3:01 PM

It might not even be a moon (as a celestial body)

here it's shaped a lot like joar's moon

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 3:01 PM

#

yeah

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 3:02 PM

#

i mean i had no doubt that joar painting was signal related because i mean come on, look at all the trees and plants

#

but now i'm pretty much 99% certain lol

#

there's a sort of holy presentation here, so presumably this face represents some kind of god-like presence

#

i also want to note

velvet wing Jun 23, 2022, 3:06 PM

#

To me it seems more like a it's a "passed presence" of a god.
all we see is what looks like statues, non of them seem alive or moving like they are the broken pieces of a god

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 3:06 PM

#

the symbol of the moon in alchemy is also the symbol of silver

#

while the other name for mercury is quicksilver

#

we may be serving under the "god" this moon represents

#

what if i just typed "hello silver" in the comments of the painting without any further context

acoustic heart Jun 23, 2022, 3:34 PM

#

also fun detail not many people notice: the sun in signal 005 isn't actually in the background, it's just a clever overlay technique

So I guess it's the right time for baseless theorizing?

#

I've been thinking that maybe what's happening in the Signal world is that the creation of a shared consciousness is in process. Consciousnesses combining to create a singular hivemind, the location itself, with the seas and the arms, it's all this creation in progress.

#

The tower is how these consciences are uploaded and digitalized.

Palm trees

acoustic heart Jul 7, 2022, 10:59 PM

#

so some people kept saying there was hidden stuff in some of the glitches in the videos, and at first i didn't really understand

#

but i have been noticing a few things

#

so first, an unglitched snip

#

and here's a glitched snip

#

the tree on the right isn't just distorted by the glitches, you can see it's actually starting to bend asyou can see by the leaves

#

i also got some gifs to share

#

here's a bird that disappears in the top, you can also see something rustling through the bushes back there

#

maybe this could fit into the theory that you'll be transported to the "city world" every so often?

#

here's a gif of the video glitch

#

there's a vague silhouette of a person on the left

#

ok im back

#

gonna send the rest of the video glitches

#

late video glitch part 1

#

late video glitch part 2

#

gonna look at signal 002 now

#

signal 002 first video glitch, still has that vaguely humanoid shape on the left

#

however the compression of this one is different for some reason

#

who's that down there?

#

there's some kind of glow down there

#

here's the speed when the video isn't reversing

#

the glow is different from the light bouncing off of the waves, as well as being out of sync with the waves themselves, so it is most certainly something down there

#

almost looks like the back of some kind of vehicle using boosters or something

#

mid video transition glitch

#

this same glitch seems to happen a few times in the video and it seems mostly the same throughout

#

interesting that each video uses a different method of glitch however, in signal 003 it doesn't even have that humanoid shape, it just has a wobbly distortion with some scan lines

#

have a sky ray

leaden remnant Jul 7, 2022, 11:57 PM

#

acoustic heart have a sky ray

Pretty lol (im sorry i don’t have much to contribute)

acoustic heart Jul 7, 2022, 11:58 PM

#

and here's the one most of you have probably been waiting for, the "hell" glitch

interestingly enough, the camera still rotates, as well as the mercury symbol, but the sky rays have stopped in place

#

ack that one was kinda corrupted

yeah it might have something to do with this thing

#

I also want to note, doesn't the purple fluid look significantly more dense than water? It also looks more textured. Almost more like slime than water. Reminds me of that "amoebic sea" the emperor sea striders wander through in Wayne Barlowe's Expedition book, which is also purple.

#

(which also has these!)

I wouldn't be surprised if the inspirations are intended, pretty sure Joar is a big fan of this kind of stuff.

wanton nymph Jul 8, 2022, 7:02 PM

#

We might be overthinking this, but think about it, is this what the creators want? Did they purposefully intend to add these details? It doesn't seem like Videocult to just add random stuff meaninglessly.

#

But I mean I could be wrong.

imo whether they intended us to see them or not, i absolutely do think some of these details are actual things happening

#

i do believe however that the signal 002 "underwater vehicle/creature" is absolutely intended for us to see though, considering how much of that video is just focusing on the purple fluid

the color change is based off of lighting though

they're absorbing the lean...

#

i always saw the slugcat tree from the intro/ending of RW to be like a mix of baobabs and sakura trees

#

the ones in the recent joar video are interesting because the tops appear to be chopped off, or torn off by something

#

i also want to note

#

while signal 001 did primarily have a lot of blue plants visible, there is some kind of red forest in the background, like the colors of the plants in the canal bird video and in the recent tree video

#

#

if this is the same world and not some interdimensional fuckery, then the blue plants may be exclusive to a specific region of the game world

#

with the dominant color being red

#

could also be that blue plants appear mostly shoreside

#

it's hard to tell what their colors are in signal 005 due to the intense purple haze, but the closer ones do appear more red

ngl, sunset intermission and "the coast" feel like they'd be more suited for the signal game rather than rain world

(the coast is just a vaporwave remix of sunset intermission)

cold ruin Jul 18, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

Oh well

#

I like the coast better anyway

mossy estuary Jul 18, 2022, 3:46 PM

#

The new remix from the trailer is really cool

#

Cheery

I like lack of comfort more than free mind loop as well

acoustic heart Jul 18, 2022, 3:47 PM

#

i don't like either of those :(

#

actually that's wrong i kinda do

#

but also kinda don't

mossy estuary Jul 18, 2022, 3:48 PM

#

It's not a comfortable song

cold ruin Jul 18, 2022, 3:49 PM

#

acoustic heart i don't like either of those :(

HOW

#

Lack of comfort is really damn good

mossy estuary Jul 18, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

Signal soundtrack...

#

I kinda want the game to be as crazy as anymalmyn seemed

#

With an equally crazy soundtrack

acoustic heart Jul 18, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

given the hints we've gathered so far, it definitely seems that way, though a bit less "brain-bleedingly" so

#

according to james it's supposed to be a lot more ambitious than animalmyn

#

hence why animalmyn was canned

mossy estuary Jul 18, 2022, 3:54 PM

slugWOH

#

Can't wait for some rather surreal landscapes

acoustic heart Jul 18, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

can't wait for this guy

#

i still think something along the lines of the canal bird could be a hint of animalmyn bleeding into the signal project

#

it's really fitting if you think about it, especially from a technical point of view

#

Making a 3D game with disturbing procedurally animated humanoids? Having trouble making it feel smooth? Just add wings!

#

either way i am very convinced the player is some kind of flying creature, even if not this thing exactly

#

every hint we have of the signal project feels like it's been leading up to it

mossy estuary Jul 18, 2022, 4:00 PM

#

That'd be really cool

acoustic heart Jul 18, 2022, 4:00 PM

#

i sure do hope so

#

I'm not usually interested in flying games, but that's mostly due to the fact they're not unconventional enough and almost always take place in a vehicle rather than as a character, which makes it feel less immersive to me. But a flying game where you're a creature AND it's a wacky abomination of some kind, with procedural animation? Now that's interesting.

mossy estuary Jul 18, 2022, 4:04 PM

Wacky is what I'm looking for in everything Signal

can you pet the fishmoth?

Fishmoth can't be aggressive right?

#

acoustic heart Jul 18, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

i can't imagine them being dangerous

#

they look pretty harmless

#

unless they got a secret noodlefly needle in their mouths

#

like the strange sky ray thingies

especially compared to the spire

there's a live one in the distance too :)

Imagine if we find out the Tweets are unrelated to Signal after all...

acoustic heart Jul 18, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

doubt it

#

the devs never use the videocult account to promote joar's work unless it's directly related to videocult stuff, like with his slugcat backflip drawing

#

the 3D videos have enough hints to suit the overall aesthetic too

#

i definitely don't believe these actually take place in the game though, their visuals are more detailed than what we've seen from the actual signal teasers

mossy estuary Jul 18, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

Yeah probably

#

These 3D videos look really good

#

Like they are sculpted

#

The texture

#

Or maybe that's just me

acoustic heart Jul 18, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

it's also not unusual for teasers for their games to just appear on their own personal accounts, i mean james just flat out has signal 004 stuff in his twitter banner

#

#

#

don't leave them hangin'

#

give them all high fives

mossy estuary Jul 18, 2022, 5:33 PM

That one has the remote

acoustic heart Jul 18, 2022, 6:35 PM

That's what I imagine when I see these.```

mossy estuary Jul 19, 2022, 1:18 AM

I'm very curious about how these videos look

#

I don't know if it's just me

#

But this tree looks like it's made of clay or something

#

The texture

acoustic heart Jul 19, 2022, 1:07 PM

#

yeah

#

looks like a sculpture

acoustic heart sidenote i like the purple glowing lines at the front of the wings

Are these videos signal teasers?

#

I thought they were just random art pieces joar made

acoustic heart Jul 19, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

delicate temple Are these videos signal teasers?

there's an incredibly high chance of that, yeah

#

videocult doesn't ever retweet joar's personal art unless it has to do with videocult stuff specifically

#

and there are a few visual hints that these are related to the signals

delicate temple Jul 19, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

If so, signal games world looks sick

acoustic heart Jul 19, 2022, 5:25 PM

#

i had been speculating them extensively in this channel lol

#

in fact

#

this thread started pretty much because of these new 3D videos

acoustic heart Jul 19, 2022, 11:59 PM

#

Anyone else see text in the back?

#

There's very clearly an image in the back of some of these, but it's so insanely distorted it's impossible to make out for now. Unless someone is INSANELY skilled at "un-distorting" images.
